John-Mark Gurney:
|well, now that I have it building... I don't get any sound out when
|I try and play it... is there a step that you have to load the patches
|onto the sound card or something? the docs that come with it don't
|say... and the awe32 that I have has 512k ram (going to upgrade it to
|2megs soon)

|awe0 at 0x620 on isa
|awe0: <SoundBlaster EMU8000 MIDI (RAM512k)>
Right. Use awesfx to load some MIDI patches before using awemidi/playmidi.
You'll also have to reload them after running gmod since it loads the patches
from the MOD/669/etc. files in place of what's in wavetable mem.
For example, I have this in my rc.local:
# Load up AWE driver samples
if dmesg | grep -q "^awe0:"; then
echo "Loading AWE Driver Samples"
nice -20 /usr/local/bin/sfxload -i -V 100 /dos/c/sb32/sfbank/guit_gm.sbk &
fi
and these useful aliases in my csh.cshrc:
setenv AWELIB /dos/c/sb32/sfbank
alias awe-gm 'sfxload $AWELIB/synthgm.sbk'
alias awe-gs 'sfxload $AWELIB/synthgs.sbk'
alias awe-guit 'sfxload $AWELIB/guit_gm.sbk'
There's more on this on the http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv page at the
bottom.
|well.. hit a problem... the awe_voice.h wasn't being installed... do
|you mind if we install it in /usr/include/machine? because that would be
|the best place for it... I'm also going to send mail to Bruce about it
|as we would need to create gnu/i386/include along with modifing the
|makefile in src/include...
Really? It's at sys/gnu/i386/isa/sound. I thought I'd modified the ports
to look for it here on FreeBSD, but maybe I missed one.
However, to your suggestion, having it deliver/install itself in
/usr/include/machine would be better. On Linux, it is delivered in
/usr/include/linux along with soundcard.h. This would also remove the
dependency on the kernel source tree being installed to build the AWE
ports.
